No matter what happens tonight and tomorrow, I can get thru it knowing that my 7 day forecast shows sunny and 50's. Of course the way the models have been verifying, we'll have our Big Dog next Saturday. Already spitting pretty steady here in Kernersville. I really hope we dont jackpot on this one. 29°.

Made it back from Cincy today. Left about 5" of compact snow behind me with another 7-10" coming early next week for a freaking ice storm? This winter in the SE blows. I'm buying grass seed asap. Time for spring.
-
Thanks. This one has me quite nervous because you wont know you are in it until you are in it. Thinking I will slow down a little bit tomorrow and see if I can time my arrival into Princeton, Wytheville and Mt Airy to the late afternoon. I only need 33°. VADOT will do the rest. I cant believe the cold temps forecasted up here next week wont make it down. Highs of 15°, lows around zero. We just cant win.

Help a brotha out folks, I am seriously short on time to really figure this out. As you know I'm rolling back from Cincy tomorrow with your polar vortex in tow. Now I'm worried I'll be making my own ice storm down I77. Is this legit? Should I stay put until Saturday?
-
FYP. Yes, model watching has been exhausting this year and we still have little certainty around tomorrow much less a 4 month outlook.
-
I'm so sorry, but its like a damn snow globe up here. Just hammering white powder!!
-
Can I be in my home forum and be whining about too much snow with being banned? Ripping fatties again here in Cincy. Here comes another 1-3" literally out of nothing. I'm now sitting on 10" since I got here Friday. I just cant believe how difficult it is to get a snow event like this in the southeast.....in the dead of winter.....at night.....it sucks!
-
The heavier the precip I tend to favor a rain solution when the CAD is marginal. I get that the models often underestimate the CAD, but as shown, I'll favor the warmer forecast. Not to mention I'd rather not drive home from Cincy during an ice storm.
-
This could end up being a multi-day ice on ice event for some. Very little melting going on. Tenths upon tenths of zr. This long duration event would easily rival the tree damage I experienced back in 2002. Pray for sleet but go ahead and buy your gennie now if you ever wanted one. This is U..G..L..Y!
-
6" of high ratio bliss here in Cincy overnight. We were literally trained by a 75 mile wide streak of snow for 7-8 hours. Simply amazing. Wish I could bring it back!
-
Not disagreeing, I'm simply pointing out (while I sit here in Cincy watching it puke snow outside) that starting tomorrow the high temps here wont go ABOVE 25° until the middle to end of next week. This isnt run of the mill transient cold. This has staying power. And we would need a monster SER to block and/or moderate this airmass. I like our chances over the next 10 days.
-
I will say this, I understand how our GSP friends now feel after cashing in the other night. It is ripping fatties here in Cincy, 2-4" tonight. And man is it glorious. But it still isnt the same as having it thump in your own backyard.
-
Agreed 100%. The Cincinnati forecast has been also trending colder all week this week and the local tv met last night was even talking about the cold press into the south. I suppose it's possible the trajectory takes it into TX/LA instead of the SE, but the cold pool is definitely there. Highs in the teens here by late week, single digit lows. I'll get my fill of snow up here this week as we have it every day in the forecast at present.
-
That would be me and my F250 hauling the cold back from Cincy on Friday. Highs in the teens, lows below zero here on Friday. I'll do my part for the forum but somebody else needs to figure out the QPF. Still a chance for a Valentine's Day surprise!
-
Woke up and checked the cams in Stuart. An underwhelming inch or so? Radar right at midnight looked quite promising but the results didnt align, so far. Back to sleep!
-
100% snow in Stuart Va....2 miles north of the state line is where the farm is.
-
Finally a few flakes mixing in at the farm in Stuart. Still light, but I can see them on the cams.
-
Temps still holding around 38° on the north side of the precip in Stuart. All rain on the security cams at 1400' @BornAgain13@Buddy1987. Once the rates come up I expect the hammer to drop and the moisture feed looks good for several hours.
-
I get double the fun tonight being in Cincy. I get to hang out in the Ohio Valley /Lakes forum and bank a couple inches here tonight and then watch all my fellow SE forum weenies cash in back home. I will say this, the level of weather dictionary going on in the OH Valley forum is off the charts. These guys are saying things I've never even heard of! I'll stick to our puking snow references.
-
He's literally jackpotting as we speak.
-
More proof that rates overcome. Cannot be disputed.
-
The trajectory of the precip is an absolute dream for quite a few in the forum. Somebody is cashing in tonight.
-
Game on, we'll see!
-
If this verifies I'll have 5-7 hours of blizzard in Stuart to get my 5-6". This wont verify. I'll grab a security cam pic of my wet ground at midnight tonight.
-
Please tell me Blacksburg is going to scratch this WSW for the vast majority of their coverage area? I mean really, calling for 4-8" Surry, Stokes, Yadkin, etc is just silly! At least drop the totals. I thought they jumped the gun earlier today when they hoisted it. Edit - I see they moderated the accums in their 4:16am Warning update. Much better calls now geographically speaking.
